Beautiful If
Rings that wear these fingers
High-heeled shoes that wear the floor
This dance that wears the music
Your leaving that wears the door
This sadness wears such synchronized sympathy
The apple that wears your eyes
The mirror that wears this weary face
Awkward grace that wears surprise
The boy who wears only his silence
The girl wears her heart at her heels
The moment that wears such untouched words
The thief who wears all that he steals
Love that wears loss in its poetry
The princess, worn by her crown
The door that wears your leaving
And we all wear each other down
